Track customer lots, bath chemistry, thickness checks and billing through every plating job.
Plating company software follows each customer lot from goods receipt through the process route to dispatch. Racks, barrels, bath analysis, chemical additions and thickness readings are logged against the lot. Rejects and rework are recorded with their cause. From that one job come the certificate, the packing list and an invoice priced by area, weight or piece, as you quote. Traceability is kept.
A plating shop works on parts that belong to someone else. Customers send fasteners, brackets, housings and fittings. The shop cleans, plates, bakes and returns them, with the thickness and the finish that the drawing asks for, and the count and weight must match what arrived. Nothing may be swapped.
The risks sit in the details. A lot loses its identity between receiving and the line. A bath drifts without a record. A certificate is typed from memory. The software holds each lot and each bath together. A walk-through follows one lot from the gate to the invoice.
A customer delivers parts with a delivery note and a drawing or specification. Stores check the count, tag the lot and book it in. The planner decides the process route, such as degreasing, pickling, nickel or zinc plating, passivation and baking, and groups lots onto racks or into barrels according to size and finish. The line supervisor loads the tanks and the operators follow the route.
The chemist or lab technician tests each bath on a schedule, adds chemicals when readings drift, and measures coating thickness on samples from the finished lot. Rejects are stripped and replated. Effluent and sludge are logged for disposal. Packing, labelling and a certificate of conformance go out with the lot. Billing follows the price list agreed with each customer.

Read the case studyQuestions plating companies ask before they call.
Does it cover anodising, galvanising or powder coating?
Yes. Process routes, lots and inspections are set up for your own finishes. Anodising or galvanising simply uses different steps, tanks and checks.
Can it print certificates for customers?
Yes. A certificate is built from the lot’s own results. Its wording and layout follow each customer’s requirement and are agreed during implementation.
Can it price by area, weight or piece?
Yes. A price list carries the basis for each customer and part, along with minimum charges, so the invoice is calculated from what was plated.
Does it manage environmental records?
It keeps logs of effluent, sludge and waste movements, with dates and quantities. What your regulator requires is reviewed during implementation. The software does not make compliance claims.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
